The myth that the Hulk can just tank any amount of physical damage really needs to die. Hulk and Juggernaut are the two biggest culprits of the no-limits fallacy. How many times do we need to see the Hulk get physically beaten to start realizing it can be done? Superman has hurt a guy who tanked a universe-buster. He lifted infinite weight on more than one occasion. He's shattered space and time, and reality. He's fast-balled black holes.The Hulk does not have unlimited energy. Sentry used physical force to change him back into banner. In regards to the satelittes, regardless of whether Hulk wanted to be stopped or not, how is he going to will his durability to lower? Zeus physically beat him to a pulp. His healing factor and durability have limits. In fact, there are so many more examples of Superman tanking FAR MORE damage than the Hulk, it's almost preposterous to compare the two.
The question here should be how many times do you need to be told that the Hulk does not remain on a static level of strength like a character like Hercules is?
You can attempt to make up whatever you like but on panel Wolverine told/said to the Hulk how he noticesd how difficult it was to cut him, and to further cement this fact, he was later seen to ignore what used to be known as high yield hits from high class 100 characters.
Superman in more consistent showings, has needed help to tug a planet, was KO'd when he hit a shadow moon, and other showings that weighed and measured his peak strength abilities. On the other side the Hulk hit an equal power so hard that the mass of the event turned at the very least a planet to dust.
Your unwillingness to accept the idea that WB Hulk was far out of Superman's league in terms of strength and durability is your cross to bare. However on panel evidence suggests that Superman is nowhere near as strong as WB Hulk. To add to this it never once said that the Hulk had reached his limit. I can accept the idea that a CIS off Supes cna rain down blow after unanswered blow, but you have to prove that those blows would be effective to a guy that at a far weker level was able to tank a hit that tore a large portion of the moon off, and he was holding back to boot.
Sentry fought a Hulk that was holding back, did you read WW Hulk? If so perhaps you might want to think before typing such things.
